    Assessment of the relationship between motivation and performance of public secondary school teachers: A case of Morogoro municipality
    (2015) Ludovick, Eugene
    Motivation is the great observable fact that drives employees toward better performance. If employees are well motivated, it is believed that their morale to work can be raised and hence their performance can be improved. It is considered as managerial measure in stirring up employees better performance. In Tanzania, many organizations use various ways most of them being monetary ways to ensure that employees demonstrate better performance. In the context of teaching career, the situation is different simply because most of the planned motivation measures are still in papers since there is no much effort which has been done to ensure proper implementation of motivation strategies to teachers especially public secondary school teachers. Many education stakeholders argue about poor performance of public secondary school teachers due to poor motivation. This is what calls for the need to undertake this study to assess the relationship between motivation and performance of public secondary school teachers. The study assessed the relationship between motivation and performance of public secondary school teachers using Morogoro Municipality as the case study. The research design used was the case study. The study used both qualitative and quantitative methods. A sample of 130 respondents was selected for the study. Data were collected through questionnaire, interview and through documentary method. The general finding of this study revealed that, motivation to public secondary school teachers is poor. Also the performance of public secondary school teachers is poor and this indicated that there is a great relationship between poor motivation and poor performance which is demonstrated by public secondary school teachers. Based on the findings of this study, it was recommended that the authorities that deal with public secondary school teachers to ensure that all means of motivation (both financial and non-financial) to teachers should be managed and provided to teachers effectively to raise their morale and improve their performance.
